There had been some discussion of the Teach Like A Champion technique SLANT this weekend, with it being described by @PhilBeadle as a ‘crude technique of coercion’.
Pleased to report that our reading interventions @LexonikST have helped students make gains on average of around 13 months across years 7-9. Our biggest gains were in year 8 who have made a staggering 30 month gain. Currently researching fluency strategies to support next leap.
Inspirational speakers and a great gift from @SwindonWiltTSH following our first NPQH conference yesterday.
So proud of our Secondary SLT, teachers and support staff who supported our pupils so brilliantly to achieve these exceptional results. The most disadvantaged school in the town it top for both attainment and progress!
Hello geography colleagues. Are any of you using texts such as The Almighty Dollar as part of your KS3 planning? If so, @stevewillshaw & I would love to hear from you! RTs welcome @m_chiles @MrGoodwin23 @louiseholyoak @kate_stockings @GraceEHealy @ThatBenRanson @davidErogers
High impact classroom techniques on a number of levels -not only for building belonging but also think ratio. Habits of discussion when used well can also support the development of students writing- something that is a work in progress at SA! Great share.
Writing our 'Warmth, Belonging and Rewards' Framework (inspired by @Doug_Lemov's Reconnect) and this is an integral part of it.
Excellent start to the term- great to work as a whole staff team on adaptive teaching and reminding ourselves of the strategies to reduce cognitive load. #knowledgeispower #Expertstaff #TeamSA
